NHibernate module and Spring.Net 1.1.0 Preview 3

[javajunky]

Is there an approach to making the NHibernate modules work with the Preview Release of Spring.Net, I've tried several Nightly builds and each one seems to require work to get it compiling against the PR release ?

Use one of the latest nightly builds of Spring.Data.NHibernate. They include (in the lib folder) the PR3 assemblies, just a bit modified cause PR3 has a small "bug".

Thanks, I eventually compiled up my own version so I could get hold of Nhibernate12 :)

Hi,
FYI, I should have it up as a "normal" module by weekend with daily download and cc.net integration... Thanks for going the extra mile!

Hi, no worries, thanks for all the work so far! Just out of interest, long-term is it the intention that modules will contain all their own spring dependencies, or will they be available just as seperate assemblies ?

Hi,

The plan is to have them contain their own dependencies so they would work out of the box. The issue now is that there isn't a final release of 1.1 so there is some bi-directional feedback, in particular with the Spring.Data .dll. The goal is that Spring 1.1 would be stable enough for all modules to use and releases of the modules would be tied to specific spring releases.

Now we are in the early stages and I've modified the module build files to always use the spring "core" .dlls from the last successfull nightly build. The nant target is 'download-libs' does this in case you need to use it.

Also, if there are any modules that are mature enough to be released together with spring "core", then I will co-bundle them and have the installer ask if you would like to also install the modules.
